73 340 SB Rebuild, Need Help Selecting Parts

If you are buying rods, pistons, and boring... It's not that much more for a stroker kit. And extra $ spend per hp/TQ gained from the stroker higher value most upgrades. And you get better drivability at lower rpm to get a specific hp/TQ (valve train parts $ savings). Stokers soak up cam.

This is what I did:

416 from a 340 block

-Scat 4" cast crank balanced rotating assembly.
-9.7 to 1 comp with quench. (Calif. 91 octane)
-Hand/home ported edlebrock head. There are less expensive heads now.
-Hand ported matched M1 single plane (trying to shift power torque curve up) I have a RPM on shelf.
-Comp 274S cam (236/[email protected], .502/.511)
-Milodon road race pan
-TTI full headers. Before they had TTI shorties.
-Oil passage clean ups.
-BG silver claw 750 (wet flow). Might be little too big for farting around running errands around town.


You could run that combo with hyd ex275 cam and stock rockers and used rpm intake. Makes HP by 5800rpm so it's easy on valve train.

HP/TQ-wise.....guys in stock SRT challengers at track can't pass me out of a turn over a long straight.
